check that there are no problems and
everything is correctly adjusted.
NOTE: Before performing a cut, ensure the

cause the blade to lock-up.

to reach full speed and then lower the
cutting head whilst pushing the safety
guard release lever so the blade starts

8. Release the on/off switch when the cut is
complete and allow the blade to

SLIDE CUT
These machines are equipped with a
sliding carriage system (Fig. 22) to assist
with cutting wide pieces.

2. Loosen the slide lock screw (Fig. 23).
3. Grasp the cutting handle and pull the
cutting head forward until the arbor (centre

front edge of the work-piece.
4. Operate the ON/OFF trigger switch and
allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
5. Operate the safety guard release lever to
release the cutting head.
6. Push the cutting handle all the way down
and cut through the leading edge of the
work-piece.
